The atomic number(Z) is equal to the number of protons to equal to number of electrons.
The number of neutrons is equal to atomic mass minus the atomic number
n=A-Z
For Zn^2+, Z=28, e=28
For iron, Z=25,A=55
The number of neutrons is 55-25=30
The charge is zero
For O^2-, Z=8+2=10, n=p=10
The number of neutrons is 16-10=6
For sulfur, Z=16,A=34
For S2-, Z=16+2=18, A=34
The charge is 2-
- The atomic number is the basis of the periodic table.
- It is equal to the number of protons.
- The number of neutrons is atomic mass minus atomic number.

<span>The correct anwser is "C.fusion of hydrogen atoms"</span>
Remember the acronym "Oil Rig". Oxidation is loss, Reduction is gain of electrons. Calcium is losing electrons so it's an oxidation reaction.
The three factors determine the chemical properties of an element:

Answer: The reactants’ bonds break, and bonds of the products form.
Explanation:
When a chemical reaction takes place, the bonds are broken and new bonds are formed to make new molecules. Like when 2 water molecules are broken down to form hydrogen and oxygen.
